Sports Massage
Sports massage is a type of therapeutic massage designed to support people who are physically active, whether professional athletes, recreational exercisers, or individuals with physically demanding jobs. It uses deeper, more targeted techniques than relaxation massage, focusing on muscles, tendons, and connective tissues involved in movement and performance.
How it can help
- Pain relief - Reduces muscle tightness and sensitivity by releasing trigger points.
- Improved mobility - Restores range of motion in stiff or restricted muscles.
- Injury recovery - Stimulates blood flow and tissue healing in injured areas.
- Reduced muscle tension - Helps calm overactive or spasming muscles.
- Enhanced rehabilitation - Often used alongside exercise and manual therapy to speed recovery.
Weâre Here to Help
Can I combine sports massage with other treatment (Chiropractic/Physio etc)?
Absolutely! Sports massage compliments these treatments very well and helps enhance their effectiveness. Many patients see a huge improvement when combining treatments.
Can I benefit from a Sports massage even though Iâm not sporty and donât have an active job?
Definitely! Many patients suffer from stiff/sore backs and necks brought on from office and driving based jobs. Massage can really help to loosen off these tight shoulders and backs caused by sitting for longer periods of time.
How often should I get a Sports massage?
It depends on your situation and can change over time. Your treatment programme is unique to you. However, in general most people have massage therapy every 4-6 weeks to help maintain a pain free lifestyle.
Is Sports massage painful?
It doesn’t have to hurt! Sports massage is often targeted to relieve pain in a specific area so it may be tender, however, with good communication between yourself and your therapist, you can find a pressure that is both effective and tolerable for your pain threshold.
